NEWS Koyama Shares Honeymoon Photos with AAA’s Uno on Social Media Fans React Strongly to This Unprecedented Event

Since the beginning of this year, talents from the former Johnny’s Office (now ‘SMILE-UP.’) have been experiencing a marriage rush. On June 7th, Daiki Arioka from Hey! Say! JUMP announced his marriage to actress Mayu Matsuoka. The date of their marriage was not disclosed, which has been praised as understanding fan psychology.

A marriage announcement is an event that puts fans who support that idol in a complex emotional state. Therefore, it is often the case that not much information is released out of consideration for the fans. In such a situation, recently, there is someone who is being heavily criticized by fans for excessive newlywed flaunting.

Arioka announced his marriage to Matsuoka on the official website of STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, the new company of former Johnny’s. “We do not plan to report on the date of our marriage registration or other details. We appreciate your understanding,” he declared.

“Many idol fans do not want to know about significant dates like the marriage registration day, as it makes them imagine the other woman. Withholding the registration date was probably Arioka’s way of being considerate. In the announcement for Hey! Say! JUMP fan club members, Arioka expressed his gratitude to the fans without using the word marriage. Fans have been deeply moved,” said an entertainment writer.

Among the former Johnny’s talents, Tsuyoshi Domoto from KinKi Kids announced his marriage to Kanako Momota from Momoiro Clover Z in January this year. On the 16th of the same month, Yuichi Nakamaru from KAT-TUN revealed that he had married former Nippon TV announcer Rina Sasazaki. In March, Shigeaki Kato from NEWS (whose partner is a non-celebrity) and Keiichiro Koyama from NEWS (whose partner is AAA’s Misako Uno) also announced their respective marriages.
